Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 21. Editor of the Gazette: Please allow me through the columns of your worthy paper, that I am in the city and according to previous plans am attending the National Baptist Theological school (unincorporated convention) every day. The School according to the advertisement of the trustees threw open its doors last Monday the 17th. A splendid program was arranged and great enthusiasm prevailed and after more than a quarter of a century of planning on the part of the Baptist they are enabled to operate the greatest Negro Baptist School in all the world. These buildings are ideal in every department. Mt Olive Baptist Association of Illinois will receive the credit of being here. I was greatly encouraged by our wide-awake moderator Rev J. B. McCraig, who is a trustee for this school. I trust that each pastor will take a special collection at once so as to reach the here by the 1st of Dec. or of each month. Any amount will be thankfully received and the same reported in the columns of the paper. I wish to thank the pastor Rev Thos. Morris, and the Antioch Baptist church, Metropolis, Macedonia Baptist Church, Mt. Pleasant Baptist church, and Mr. C. V. Parker, (white) Harrisburg, for the financial assistance and will try to make good. I am yours for the defense of the gospel. Cor. 7th & Sevier, Sts In care of Rev. J. L. Harding. Let each church of this district lift a collection at once and forward same to Rev. A. Lovelace, Nash ville, Tenn. in care of Rev. J. L. Harding. Sec'y - Treasurer. Water Melon Feast The Gazette force was invited to a "sure enough" water melon least at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Williamson, on W. 6th, St., Thanksgiving Day. This was a red juicy melon and tasted like the "good old summer time." Mrs. Williamson for a number of years has saved a melon to be served on either Thanksgiving or Xmas day and then we always receive an invite We certainly enjoyed this rare treat and are longing for those days now since coal cannot be had this cold wintry morn. May the host and hostess live long to serve many more "boneless hams." Card of Thanks. We take this method to thank our friends who so kindly rendered their assistance to us in our bereavement. Should you be visited by the "Grim Reaper" we shall render like service to you. Grand children Sisters and brothers. Church Aid. The church aid society of St. Paul A. M. E. church entertained a number of invited guest at the lovely home of Mr. and Mrs. Boyd McCane, of N. Pearl, St. last Friday night. A representative of the Gazette, Mrs M J. McCrary, was present and she informed us that it was a swell affair, seldom excelled anywhere. The building was well lighted and potted plants and ferns were much in evidence which helped to beautify the room. Mrs. Francis Smith, is the president and with her pleasing way of presiding has endeared her to the hearts of the members. A short program was rendered to the satisfaction of all present. A very nice luncheon was prepared and served at the close of program. Among the distinguished guest were Capt. Hcrace G. Buke, Lieut. G. B. Aston, and Miss Boyd, of Paducah, Ky. JOHN B. BROWN Rev. H. A. Boyd, Member of the National Baptist Publishing Board, Nashville, Tenn., who was declared recently by the Chancery Court, to be one of the original Board member.s He has been selected a delegate to National S. S. Congress nexf June to Japan. A good selection. Madame M. Webber. Madame M. Webber, of Gary, Ind, is in the city selling pure hair, goods with a guarantee. Her prices are reasonable. She sells the same goods that stores sell for $6.50 and $7.00 for $3.50 in order that she may have quick sales. The hair is beautiful with wave and kinky gloss. Mme. Webber, will be in the city a short time possibly two or three weeks. See her at Mrs. Ella McCane's Su8 N. Broadway The name appeared in the Gazette John Crossland, and it should have been Frank. We are glad to correct the mistake. Capt. H. G. Bartke spent a few days with his wife and daughter. DEC 11 1818 WEET LET THE CHIPS FRIDAY RO PEA EEKLY AT THE CHIPS FALL WHERE T RIDAY DECEMBER 5 ROYS PEACEFUL Thanksgiving Dinner A family dinner was given at the beautiful residence of Mr. D. L. Tandy, last Thursday on West 2nd, Street and old Rambler and wife were present at this great feast, prepered by the hands of Mrs. L. B. Duke, and her little daughter Necie Bell. Mrs. Duke, is an experienced cook and certainly understands how to prepare and entertain guest as she takes pride and especial delight in trying to make it pleasant for those who come under their roof, and one may consider himself well blessed to be invited into this home, as Mr. Tandy, is one of the best and most successful grocer and restaurant dealers in the city and it goes without saying that all of the eatables of the season were in evidence, Turkey, cran-berries and salads were very conspicious. There were so many courses we will not try to recall them. Mr. Tandy, is in poor health, but we pray that he may live long and continue to prosper and let the sunshine of Jesus Christ come into his soul and become a useful servant of His cause. May he make haste to accept the plan of Salvation. Mrs. Belle Tyson, mother of Mrs. Duke, Mrs. Adelaide McCrary, a sister, Rev. Edgar McCrary, a brother-in-law and sons, Masters Joseph Edgar and Preston Levon were present. Silver Leaf Entertained. The members and friends of Silver Leaf club of 1st Baptist church were entertained, royally at the lovely residence of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Fossie and mother, on West 7th, St., Monday night. A large number of members and a few invited guest were present. The ladies were beautifully attired and all appearnd handsome looking and it really was a pleasure for old Rambler, to be invited to these functions and to associate for a few minutes with such refined ladies and polished gentlemen as usually frequent the club socials. Say neighbor, you only pass thru this life but once, why not go out and join these ladies and let life be worth living? Your wife and husband won't care. Go to the next meeting. Rev. Moses, of Miss., was present and his address thrilled the audience and each widow vied with each other to see who could look the "cutest" but we think the hostess took his eye, as he was all smiles when she came into the room with those "tantalizing eyes." She is the very embodiment of pleasure and sunshine. Mrs. Vienna Ford, ex-president of the club with her charming voice made an excellent address in response to Rev. Moses. Mrs. Hattie Beard, presided and warm often charmed the audience by wit and humor. The women have opened the doors for male members. After the business was ended cream and cake was served to 2r. ```markdown ``` Hon. Beauregard F. Mosely. Passes Away. Special to Gazette: We recieved a telegram Tuesday from Mrs. Carrie Mosely widow of the late Mr. Mosely stating that her husband was dead.

A little seven-year-old Boston girl came into the house the other day chewing gum vigorously. Her mother was horrified and ordered the little one to throw the gum away.

Milk for Babies Jersey and Guernsey cows give rich fat-producing milk, and for that reason their milk has been regarded as too rich for infants. It is still true that the milk of the Ayrshire and the Holstein is better suited to infants than the Jersey and Guernsey milk; but the cause is not the fat, as has been thought. The fact is that the casein of the Ayrshire and Holstein milk is decidedly more flocculated and not so readily curdled in the stomach, so that it is the most easily digested by children.

I am asking that you send your church, society or personal draft, money order or check to me, made out to Reyend S. J. Dixon, Field Secretary of the Home Mission Board; that I may send all of the Illinois Home Mission money in together under the head of Illinois giving name of city church, pastor and amount sent. If you do not care to send money to me, please send me a statement of the amount of money you sent to it I may get in the list when I report Illinois to the Union. Review. Please join us in this effort to do more Home Mission work this year. For the sake of our work on the Panama Zone; for the sake of the cities, fat are coming from those who need the Gospel at home; for the sake of our blessed Lord and Master who has placed this work in our hands, give this matter your attention NOW, for: "The Master's business requires haste." I am yours in His Name, M. L. Porter, Home Mission Board Member for Illinois. JOHN H. HARRIS Rev. R. B. Walker. Pastor Corrithian Church, Mt. Vernon, Illinois.

We, the Minister's of the Mt. Olive and East Mt. Olive Baptist District Associations of Southern Illinois, desirous of a more oneness in perpetuating the principles and Doctrines Legislated by Jesus Christ, and practiced by His Apostles, seeking by the word of God to bring ourselves, and the churches as well, more into the unity of the Faith of Jesus Christ, do now adopt the following Constitution. Article 1 Name. Sec.1. This organization shall be called the Missionary Baptist Minister's Alliance of Southern Illinois. Sec.2. Officers. Its Officers shall consist of a President, two Vice Presidents, Recreating Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer and such committees as may conserve the best interest of the body, all of which shall be elected annually by a majority vote of the body. Article 2 Membership Sec.1. This organization shall be composed of Missionary Baptist Ministers furnishing bonifid membership in any regular Missionary Baptist Church, together with his good standing where he now pastors, or where he last pastored, or the church where he worships with whether he ever pastored or not. Artitute 3. Authority Sec. 1. This organization shall have the power to receive to, or drop from its fellowship any Minister or Ministers whom it deems worthy or unworthy of fellowship. Sec. 2. This Constitution by laws or regulations shall by no means collect with the rules and regulations of the two Associations namely Mt. Olive and East Mt. Olive. Poor Church Fund. A fund of $57.80 was raised by the Mt. Olive Baptist Association at Duquoin, last week through the efforts and advice of Moderator McCraary. This fund will be used to aid weak churches when the Fund reaches the amount to justify. The money will be loaned for a short time at a small intrrest. We have a standing committee to look after this part of the work and we urge every church to establish a Penny Fund by lifting a penny collection every Sunday. This is a move that was in hearty accord with the association and was readily approved. Cartarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure cartarrh deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrah Peafness that cannot be cured by Hail's Catarrb Medicine. Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c. Results All That Count.
